If you call that a "noob" sig, I can't imagine what your idea of an expert sig would be...
Great work! I love how it's simple yet elegant. The background matches the color scheme nicely - great job on the text, as well. Did that come from jake2k's "New and Improved 3D Text Tut", by any chance?
-
Did you install the Microsoft .NET framework prior to installing Paint.NET?
-
Great tut, nice and easy to follow for the newbies but informative as well. One thing I would suggest, however - In step 2, instead of just using
, you might want to add an option for the use of Alpha Masking as well. That would get rid of the rough edges. -
Make sure you're not trying to use the Zoom function to enlarge your image. Also, try adjusting the DPI.

I saw a great brick wall in somebody's gallery a while ago... I just can't remember where I saw it.

Alternatively, you could download Inkscape and use it to make curved text, then import the text to PDN.
-
Paint.NET does not come with any fonts. Paint.NET simply uses the fonts found in your C:/Windows/Fonts directory. You can find fonts at dafont.com.
I would also recommend you read the Rules, especially #6.

Mike Ryan:
The text looks awesome - I give it a 9/10. Simple but subtle. It reminds me of ice, with the lighter core visible inside. The gloss seems almost to "float" above the text a little bit in a few places, though - was that intentional? It's a little distracting, IMHO. I also think the background needs a little more spice - seems to me that some sort of "surface" for the text to rest on would add to the general effect of the picture.

What format are the paint kits in? Paint.NET only supports image filetypes, such as JPG, PNG, BMP, etc.
-
(I would recommend changing your title to something a little more descriptive, as stated in the Forum Rules. While you're at it, I would recommend you read the rest of the Rules as well.
)Paint.NET can do this, but if conversion is all you need, you're right that it's overkill to a certain extent. You can use a website such as this one to convert images. To use it, simply select the type of image you wish it to give you in the drop-down menu, hit "Select format", and then use the Browse button below it to find the image you want to convert. Then hit the button to convert.

Those are pretty good for 5 days of PDN! I couldn't do anything like that after 5 days. Nice smudging. What would we do without pryochild and his Smudge plugin?
-
Try this. Pay no attention to the Google Maps stuff, the author was only making a point.
-
You can use the Fill tool (it looks like this: :PaintBucketTool:). Simply set your primary color to the color you wish to fill with, and click on the area you wish to fill. All area of the same color adjacent to where you clicked will be filled in. If you don't like the result, try undoing it and changing the tolerance.
-
I think that's on the to-do list for version 3.5 or 4.0.
-
Don't bite him. This is the Pictorium, he's free to show off his images, whatever they may be. However, I would recommend that he put his image in the first post, instead of just giving us a link to his locked tut.
-
I don't believe there is a plugin or tool for Paint.NET that will render those columns all at once. However, you can probably duplicate them, with some work.
-
At the menu up at the top, go to what is Help in English (it's the menu option farthest on the right). Click it, then go down to the item third up from the bottom (that's the Language item in English). Hover your mouse over it, and a sub-menu should pop out which has "English" as one of the options on it. Click that. A dialog should pop up asking you if you want to restart Paint.NET. Tell it you do, and it will restart Paint.NET with English everything.
-
I'm a little confused here - what exactly is the "waterfall effect" to which you are referring? Is it the long cylinders shown in the image that extend down to the bottom?
-
Hi! Welcome to the forums. Hope you'll like it here.
As a side note, I would suggest that next time you try a search either by clicking on the Search button up at the top right or by using http://searchpaint.net/. You might find the answer to what you're looking for without having to post a new thread.
Anyway, you might want to take a look at these:
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=21385 (this one you can do just as easily with a solid color as with a color wheel)
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=25081 (this tutorial does more than just coloring the eyes, but you can use it for only eye-coloring if you like.)
Also, before following a tutorial you need to make sure you have any and all plugins used in the tutorial installed. Most tutorials have links to any plugins used in the tutorial. Check out this thread to find out how to install them.

Are you trying to run the program through the installer?
That won't work. The installer is only useful for installing the program initially. In order to run it, you have to go to your Start Menu and find Paint.NET. It should be under "All Programs".
EDIT: Oh, I see. Yeah, Rick's probably right. You want to download the actual program for Paint.NET from the Download link that the top of the Paint.NET homepage. (I would give you a link, but for some reason my browser won't give me the URL.)

Motion blur + jitter + some random gray and white render + transparency adjustments comes to mind.

What does the community think of this idea:
A canvas-based plugin (a la Smudge, Splatter, Custom Brushes) that would apply any of Paint.NET's blend modes as brushes?
This would take care of the obvious Dodge, Burn, Lighten, Darken, and Glow; and also have some potentially interesting results with things like Difference, Negation, Screen, and XOR.
:shock:
:shock: :shock:
That would be SO AWESOME!
Better yet, if you could make it apply certain effects as brushes (I know next to nothing about coding plugins, so I don't know how hard that would be), that would be even more awesome. Then we could have a Blur brush! And a Dents brush! *goes gaga at the thought*
EDIT: Darn, got beat on that one by PeaceHeather.

If you want to open EPS files in Paint.NET, you can use this site to convert them to PNG files: http://convert.neevia.com. However, this site has an upload limit of 1MB, so if your EPS is larger than that you'll have to use something else.
-
Are you referring to how long a given line would be once you printed it out?
If you're talking about printing, the length of a given number of pixels depends on the resolution you chose for printing (DPI). The higher your DPI is, the more pixels there will be in each inch, so the shorter the line will come out if you print it.
, you might want to add an option for the use of Alpha Masking as well. That would get rid of the rough edges.

how to slice image in equal parts?

In regards to picking a selection of a set size: In PDN, there should be a drop-down menu at the bottom right of the top toolbar, just above the default position of the floating "tools" window. Click on that. At the top it should have an option "Choose defaults". Click on that. Where it says "selection tools", you want to change "normal" to "fixed size". Then you can set the size.
As far as the other thing goes, you're saying that when you resize your image is getting distorted. To solve that, simply hold Shift while resizing. This constrains the image ratio to the current ratio.
